A Realistic Adventure.

j a
As the dusk was setting in on a
beautiful autumnal day about thirty
seven years ago, a man and boy were
driving COW along country road in
Ohio. They had come a long distance
and were weary; but though the boy
limped, the conversation did not flag
as they trudged along.
They were evidently not farmers;
both had the appearance of living a
city life, but had they been observed,
the things they were saying, and not
their looks, would have attractad at
tention; for they were talking of Ger
vantes and Shakspere.
The COW needed much urging, and
it was late at night when they reached
some white-limbed sycamores beside
the tail-race of grist-mill OH the
little Miami River, on the other side
of which was the small log-cabin in
which they lived. A question then
arose as to how they should get the
COW across. They did not know the
depth of the water, but they knew it
to be cold, and they did not care to
swim it. The elder wanted the boy to
run up under the sycamores to the
saw-mill, cross the head-racc there,
and come back to receive the COW on
the other side of the tail-race. But
with all his literature, the boy was
young enough to be snperstitious, and
afraid of the dark; and though the
elder urged him to go, he would not
force him. They could see the lights
in the cabin twinkling cheerfully, and
they shouted to those within, but no
one heard them. They called and
called in vain, and were answered only
by the cold rush of the tail-race, the
rustic of sycamore leaves, and the
homesick lowing of the COW.
They then determined to drive her
across from the shore, and then to run
up to the saw-mill and down the other
bank. SO as to catch her as she reached
it. When they came there she
was not to be found, however; she
had instantly turned again, and during
the night she made her way back to
the town from which they had brought
her.
The log-cabin was small one, with
corn-feld of eighty acres behind it.
and it was nearly quarter of cen-
fury old. The boy who entered it latter
this adventure was William Dean
Howells, and the man was his father,
who had recently brought his family
from Dayton to take charge of the
saw-mill and grist-mill on the river.
The incident illustrates the simplicity
of the early life of one who has since
become the foremost American novel
list. - William Il. Rideing, in ST. Nieho-

Economy in Dress.

OF course the woman who can make
her own clothes saves a great deal;
materials are cheap, but making is
not. Many ladies make their own
summer dresses but employ a dress
maker for handsome costumes; in this
case it is economy to select a thorough
~ good workwoman, even if somewhat
expensive, but to see that she does not
chose wasteful fashions or recklessly
squander her material. A we'll cut
and made garment wears longer and
is always a satisfaction. The tailor
suits Of the present day are wonder
fully suitable and economical for street
wear. An old suit for bad day saves
the better one, and an old black silk is
treasure. 1t is hard to tell Just when
a dress should be made over" ex-
perience only can decide. A thrifty
young woman of my acquaintance
never has a dress which cannot be
washed: her wool dresses come from
the wash-tub ssas good as new" Vel
vet waists and pretty neck arrange
ments and handkerchiefs freshen up
old skirts. The old things should be
used in preference to buying new ones.
Aprons save dresses; a jersey substi-
tuted for the dress waist under wrap
is economy, and so is the combination
of an old skirt and fresh waist under
4 long garment for theater wear.
In fact economy has thousand.httle
tricks to save. Have several pairs Of
shoes on hand and the same of gloves,
giving preference to the useful tan
color. II you can make your own
bonnets, always buy the best velvet
and weir it several seasons with a
little change Expensive ruching
which cannot be washed is more ex-
travagant than fine lace. Dc rot wear
white skirts ON the street, une need
not fear being 'sknown" BY dress.
provided ii is good By all means
keep yonr wardrobe IN first raterepairs
leaving no hole or rip unmended so

In courage the ordinary woman

In courage the ordinary woman,
says the Augusta Gazette, greatly out
strips the ordinary man. Whether
it be reckless, unconscious, or sublime,
the element of personal courage that
affects fit at the intrusion of a mouse
knows no fear in the face of real danger.
A lady who would not venture from
her front door alone was often met
abroad leading 3-year-old child by
the hand. Whom asked if she COR

lection, she said: in a measure, yes,
for when / am alone feel that have
no right to be away, and would run

this on rnaternalinsticts But The lady
was not related to the child, and she
was unmarried.

THE Charleston News and Courier does not
approve of the plan for inviting Jeff Davis to
meet Mr.. Cleveland at Atlanta. "For our
own good name" it says-''our' meaning the
Southern people-"and out of a tender
sideration for the sacred memories of the past,
let Mr. Davis stay at home. He is not me-
nagerie that he should be dragged away from
Beauvoir to be carted around the ring in At
lanta" Is it to be inferred from this that the
News regards Mr.. Cleveland in the light of
menagerie? It looks that way. Perhaps it is
because the President is.a less sacred being
than Davis that it is permissible to make
show of him at an agricultural fair.

THE special attention of the Indianapolis
Journal is directed to the case of John Water
side, of Smiley, Indiana, who took delight in
manning his step-child, which has died from
the barbarous treatment that it received. We
really do not believe that the editor of the
Journal, or any of his immediate family or
associates, had anything to do with this das-
tardiy crime; but they live in Indiana and the
good people of the Hoosier State should be
held responsible for the outrages committed
by the thieves and scoundrels who infest that
State, just the good people of South Caro-
lima are held accountable by the Journal for
the work of the criminal classes here.
Charleston News and Courier
The case of John Waterside did not escape
the attention of the Journal, as very little in
the nature of current events does 1t was bad
case. The News and Courier is right in sup
posing that no person connected with the
Journal had anything to do with the
crime. The entire force has been busy about
other matters and prove alibi. We
feel to thank our esteemed contemporary for its
generous vindication, and in return may say
we have never thought the News and Courier
responsible for the Charleston earthquake.
For the rest, there are outrages and cutrages.
Many of those occurring in South Carolina
reveal an element altogether lacking in this
State namely. the color line. Personal vio-
lence is deplorable under any circumstances,
but it takes additional indignity when it
is directed against unoffending persons
count of color and when it becomes part of
general plan to deprive them of rights which
black men as well white hold very dear.
We have not noticed anything of the kind in
South Carolina very recently, but that may be
because there is political campaign OF
hand. The News and Courier will hardly
deny that outrages of this kind and quality
have occurred in South Carolina in the past,
and notwithstanding its efforts and influence
in the direction of reform, we expect they will
occur in the future. Perhaps at some future
time, say during the next campaign, we may
have occasion to remind our contemporary

THE idea of a sand pool seems rather absurd
at first blush, but it is a reality at Pittsburg.
The immense manufacture of window-glas
there makes sand an important factor. The
present trouble is between the glass men and
the sand men as to the price of raw material.
There are five principal companies which fur
nish sand for the Pttsburg market, and these
produce about 500 tons per day. This is in
excess of the present consumption, and yet
the sand producers propose to raise the price
from 60 CENTS to $l.00 per ton, an increase
which is very naturally resisted by the manu-
facturers As usual in such cases the SAID
producers propose to form pool to regulate
production and enable them to fix and main
tain their own price.
